Will VIP gems be monetized if they are not redeemed by the time the program closes?

Most of what is good in the VIP Vault, soon to be closed, is "out of stock" - will the value of the VIP gems be monetized when the programs closes?

I have not received my rewards cards

If it was Microsoft Rewards points you redeemed for Xbox gift cards, you'll need to contact their customer support via their redemption page. The Xbox Rewards program is separate.

If it was VIP gems you redeemed, Rewards support will check on them here for you. If they were gift cards they would have been emailed to you. If they were for rewards credits, the credits would show as pending in on the Xbox Rewards site, but the credits
would not be deposited into your account for use until the 29th.

 

Not received reward

hi I recently redeemed a $10 VISA card using 500 gems on Xbox live rewards. However I did not receive an email to claim this reward.

My gems are gone and I have the proof of transaction on “my VIP perks and gems statement”

 

From the Microsoft Rewards Migration FAQ: "any unredeemed MyVIP Gems will be converted to Microsoft Rewards points and can be used to redeem rewards from the Microsoft Rewards catalog once your membership is transitioned.
One MyVIP Gem will convert to one Microsoft Rewards point".

 

If one gem equals one Microsoft Rewards point , and I have 500 Microsoft Points, that's roughly about 50 cents worth, because a $5 gift card is about 5,000 points.

Whereas if I were to redeem them through Xbox Live Rewards, 500 gems would get me 10,000 Rewards credits - if only such a thing were not "out of stock" - how does that work exactly except that Microsoft chooses for it be out of stock, so they force me to either
put up with giving me a tenth of the value or having to buy something useless like Overwatch wallpaper?

 

Hi consp77. More items will be added to the Vault so you'll have more choices on what to spend your Gems on. Thanks for your patience.
